Which radars cover Grover?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 41 miles southwest. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Grover	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	41 mi southwest	2,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KCAE Columbia, SC	65 mi north-northwest	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLTX Wilmington, NC	139 mi east-northeast	16,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
